^To complain about it. It happens alot, you'll get used to it.

PerFeCTioNThrUSileNCe · 06-02-2005, 02:47 PM

it happens too much....some people are just stupid.

we're now up here alone, terror on the intercom, can someone save us?
systems malfunction, blast it this damn machine, over and out captain
something lurks, creeps on the counter top somewhere behind you
parasitic cyst i can't stand to watch it's coming up and out of your chest

remember when we were young
sit up right on the table a photograph of earth feeding me a way back
frightened i tear alone or maybe not the the only one there
hello... hello? when it rings will you answer?
there corner tall short stance
it's you come on kill me!!
you made a good friend to me but while you were outnumbered
and torn they made us do things...

oh dear god, i don't feel alive when you're cut short misery
will you pray it be the end? give a look surprise wide eyed to me
then you'll know just what i am the scare that triggers your fear
come know me in a different light now come know me as god

you made a good friend to me but while you were outnumbered
and torn they made us do things... to you...

run sand hourglass it's my time will i be worth?
spin 'round carousel when your horse isn't screwed in

oh dear god, i don't feel alive when you're cut short misery (raise forth lost cause)
will you pray it be the end? give a look surprise wide eyed to me (raise forth
lost cause)
then you'll know just what i am (subtle demise the legitimate cry)
the scare that triggers your fear come know me in a different light now
come know me as god (raise forth lost cause)

i love that song. (^delirium trigger by coheed and cambria)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Write these words back down inside
We have burned their villages and all the people in them died
And we adopt their customs and everything they say we steal
All the dreams they had we kill
Still we all sleep sound tonight
Is this what you wanted to hear?
We erased all their images and dance
And replaced them with borders and flags

At the top of this timeline you'll remember
This is the lipstick on the collar and in my own life
I've seen it in the mirror sometimes at the cost of others hopes

So. Write these words back down inside
That's where you need it the most and without conviction of heart you will never
feel it all
Yeah - We all dance to the same beat when we we're marching
Yeah- The TV tells us everything we need to know
And this scene is painting in all the fashions of the moment and history is all
the same

Everything you say you stole
Every dream you dreamt you bought
But I'm still here and we are all guilty

(^autobiography of a nation - thursday)

hehe.

Autobiography of a Nation... Awesome choice

If I was gonna pick a Thursday song, it'd probably be Jet Black New Year though.. I love that

If you want ridiculously emo lyrics, look to In Hopes of An Exit, who once said:
"For your birthday I gave you a blade to my wrists"
I just think that's the funniest line I have ever heard.
I also find the Thursday line from Cross Out the Eyes humourous.
"And the morning dove gets caught in the telephone wires"
Ahh, I love Thursday. They are amazing.
But anyways, more lyrics...ummm....

Leave me alone, you oughta be proud that I'm getting good marks.

Looking for the man that attacked me, while everybody was laughing at me.

I Tarzan, you Jane

Do potholes in the road make you wonder what went missing?

Too bad the whole world had their backs turned.

The red lights mean you're leaving, the white ones mean returning.
Your headlights look like diamonds, your tailights burn like coals.

Oh, can't anybody see? We've got a war to fight, we'll never find our way, regardless of what they say.

Feeling like my life's just passed, and I didn't even say hello. There's an aching in my chest, wind whistling through the hole.
My head feels so heavy, as I lay it on this pillow. I'm growing up too fast now, but my movements are so slow.

And the whole song, please read these and tell me what you think:

Drunk Driving

The light shines dim from the back of the bus,
my heart comes out on this page in the dark.
I take what you said out of context as the bus merges from the on-ramp.

Dry-throated hoarse calls on the PA,
"Just another few hours, we're not far away"
I need something to fill up this time.
Magnetic chess was left far behind.

Fascinated by static stereo,
I'm still in denial about being on my own.
Amongst these people I've become uneasy,
Lying, gutter-bed sleazies.

This stale dinner's like flowers to my nose.
The childs cry is like music perfectly composed.
The passengers are like angels to my eyes.
The shards of glass come as quite a surprise.

Red and black, as though the sky's just cracked.
My mind gets de-railed like a train from it's tracks.
Bent like the metal stabbing in my side,
Smashed like the remenants of my pride.

Bleeding out white lies on the ground,
Nothing is safe, nothing is sound.
Through the air comes a piercing scream,
Wake up right now, please say it's a dream!

This can't happen, please don't do this.
I was going to apologize, let me make it!
It's always so quiet, why is it so quiet?
So damn quiet, quiet!

What do you think?

And of course: Don't think twice, it's alright.

"she says live up to your first impression
well my best side was your worst invention
why cant you live without the attention?
why cant you live without the attention?"
taking back sunday-one eighty by summer

"if looks could really kill
then my profession would be staring"
brand new-i will play my game beneath the spin light

"the ribbon on my wrist says do not open before christmas"
fall out boy-our lawyers made us change the title of this song so we wouldnt get sued

The lyrics to Something Corporates Konsatntine are amazing, makes me cry

"You gotta get out you can't stand to see me shaking
Andyou don't wanna be here in the future so you say the presents just a pleasant interruption to the past"

The whole songs like 10 minutes, so i won't write all of them out but it's such a great song

And someone alrady said it but Letters To You- Finch is great to

.angie. · 06-13-2005, 04:27 PM
